General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I posted some things two years ago about Kamala Harris that were I shouldn't have. [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)There was a New York Times article a couple of weeks ago saying HRC's donors preferred her.
She's a first-term senator.
She was a pretty good Ca. attorney general, from what I've heard.
The book she wrote on crime and economics looks good, as does her proposal on getting first-time drug dealers a chance to finish high school.
What I want to make sure of is what I want to make sure of with anybody else we might nominate:
A) That we don't go with another hawk-there's no such thing as humanitarian intervention and it's time to admit that, even if some wars might be necessary in extreme circumstances, none can ever be progressive again and none can ever have any effects beyond slightly reducing suffering;
B) That we as a party establish some distance from the wealthy and at least some economic priorities that don't put the rich first;
Because of those things, I'm not supporting anybody for the nomination at this point. And we're three years out, so what's the rush?
And as I've said, I'll campaign for her if she's nominated.
